Daily Quotes
Henry II Ford

Rita Rudner
My husband gave me a necklace. It's fake. I requested fake. Maybe I'm paranoid, but in this day and age, I don't want something around my neck that's worth more than my head.
Kahlil Gibran
The most solid stone in the structure is the lowest one in the foundation.
Albert Einstein
A human being is part of a whole, called by us the 'Universe,' a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
Carol Malia, BBC Anchorwoman
Most cars on our roads have only one occupant, usually the driver.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Cleave never to the sunnier side of doubt.
F Scott
Thirty-the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair.
Herbert Clark Hoover
I'm the only person of distinction who's ever had a depression named for him.
George Orwell
Freedom is the right to say two plus two make four. If granted, all else follows.
